    I switched our two senior labs nearly two months ago to BLUE Life Protection for Senior dogs. Both of our girls have more energy and seem happier! Particularly, one of our girls, Ruby, has always had a slight incontinence issue (since being spade) where we had to let her out many times a day to avoid accidents which happened mostly when she was napping. For some reason, about four weeks after being on BLUE Life Protection, she has had no accidents, asks to go out without being prodded and reminded and seems to empty her bladder more fully (we are able to compare to our other lab girl as far as squatting time goes). We find it a near miracle that Ruby seems to have better control, like her nerves "woke up"! Very happy as this was so unexpected!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dogs loved this. They ate it up and it seems to have actually changed their bathroom habits (in a good way). I think it’s a much better alternative to what we’ve been feeding them especially for the price point.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As my dog gets older I’ve really been trying to prioritize his nutrition and exercise so I was beyond excited to try this food, especially after seeing that it was tailored to senior dogs. I’m a big fan of the ingredients and lack of preservatives and he’s been very receptive to it! I’m seriously considering switching him over and will see if his energy and weight remain steady as we go through the bag but so far I’m very happy with it.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Blue life’s senior dog food comes in a resealable bag that really closes. The chicken and brown rice formula dog food comes in small bite size pieces which great for my senior dog. I like the quality and ingredients of Blue Life protection dog food. My dog seems to like her Blue Life dog food and I like that it’s good for her.

    Have been giving my Jasper this food for about 6 months. He has skin allergies which give him a rash sometimes, Since he has been on Blue Buffalo I have noticed his skin is a bit healthier and the rash has subsided.

    My dogs have been raised on Blue Buffalo dog food. Beginning with Puppy kibble then adult on to the senior formula. Unfortunately the prices have increased throughout the years. But the quality is worth it for my dogs overall health. Made with Deboned Chicken • Wholesome Whole Grains • Healthy Fruits & Veggies. Holistic, offering Vital Nutrients and Antioxidants for a dog's Health and Well Being. Bite sized kibble is easy to eat (medium sized dog) my pup seems to enjoy it 🐶

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My blue eyed sky, is getting older. She is over weight and limps around. We were worried that we might have to put her down soon, but since switching to blu buffalo blu life protection formula with its natural ingredients and nutrition, she clearly loves. I think my old girl has a little life in her yet.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our dog really only eats chicken flavored foods. So far she seems to be liking this. She’ll eat her whole bowl but it does take her longer than our normal brand. I’ve noticed no bad side effects or upset tummy with her!

    Super dog food

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stuff is awesome and the bag is amazing the material is thick and reusable. From my pictures you can see there is different dog food pieces not all the same. So far my dog has had no issues and eats it very fast she loves the taste. Most dog foods seems to be oily this one is not and appears to be moist with leaving a residue on the hand. From the back of the bag this food hits all the marks for nutrition and evens has some she might need. This a good choice for dog food and will buy again.

Duke ate it all up quickly, begging for more. Blue Buffalo's natural and wholesome ingredients appeal to me. I am sure that the antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals will support my senior dog's immune system. I highly recommend Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Senior Dry Dog Food to all my friends and family members with senior dogs.
